Geisel’s work on war-related films would include the scripts for some of the “Private Snafu” cartoons, produced by Warners for the armed forces in 1943-45. Seuss books, And to Think that I Saw It on Mulberry Street and The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins,were both snapped up by George Pal and produced as Puppetoons for Paramount. Geisel’s writing/illustrating career is fairly well known, but it’s perhaps less widely recognized that he maintained a healthy relationship with the animation industry during these crucial years.
